The Horsey Horseless was created by Uriah Smith in Battle Creek, Michigan. It contained a wooden horse head attached to the front of the car to make it resemble a horse and carriage. It was known to be created in 1899 but no one knows if was actually made. The horse head was actually hollow to hold fuel. It is on Time magazine's worst car list.[1]
